In Central America, I've heard them referred to as "chicken of the tree." I saw their tails over more than one B-B-Q fire in my travels.

While they make good photo subjects, especially when "in their color", I hate them being wild in Florida, because of the potential destruction of other species. (Look up the Brown Tree Snake and Guam to see possible ramifications.)

There is a new program to try to capture them in the Florida Keys, but I doubt that it is going to take care of the issue. What is needed is a really good cold snap to take care of them naturally, and that is unlikely in South Florida and the Florida Keys.

They put some traps around Wako last year, but it didn't work.

They did that in 1978. Had some flurries that didn't stick.

I don't remember what year it "snowed" in Orlando, but it was around that time. Nothing stuck to the ground, but some cars were covered with it and that made great slush balls to throw. I didn't see snow that stuck to the ground until I was 25-years old. But I did often go to the beach in almost every month of the year!!

Thanks for the video Roy! I've been there that early a couple of times. Didn't see a date, but I know every place he was at Wako and Green Cay. You might remember my shots of the turtles on the fallen palm. Seems like they're there every day.

Why don't you give your parents a feeder for Christmas?
